The Lost Finale: After the Show

Yes, I know many of you will be tuning into the Jimmy Kimmel Live show immediately following the Lost finale, where the cast and writers will be on it, but I'm now going to boldly suggest that you PVR that puppy and instead come and discuss your immediate reaction to the Lost finale with me and two others!

Yes, folks, despite having a giant black X on my calendar over the hours following the finale for, oh, about 6 years (to hold the spot for crying, screaming, mourning, and general curling-up-in-a-ball-in-a-fetal-positioning), CTV.ca, the official website for the Canadian broadcaster of Lost, has talked me into participating in a live online chat where myself, Andrew Ryan (the TV critic extraordinaire who does the Globe live chats with me) and always entertaining Lainey Liu will be trying to form coherent thoughts and helping to guide you through your Post-Finale-Stress-Disorder. I hope you'll be able to come and check it out! (And yes, I'll be posting reminders leading up to it... with shaking, sweating hands as the clock begins to count down to the finale...)

My Fellow Americans: I have never attempted to follow the on-line chat because I'm usually (Pick One):1. Still in bed.2. Still bed-headed with sleep from having only recently made myself get up.3. Lost in my own disorder.

How does one find out in advance if you can get involved in that while it's still live? I'm in Ohio. Can we still take part in that even though it's Canadian? Does one have absolutely nothing to do with the other?

I'm all in for the Post Traumatic Lost Disorder group. I'd still love to know how many people this show is going to send into therapy when it ends.

@Gracie - you should easily be able to participate in the chat, even from the States. Nikki will likely provide us with a link as we get close to that day and clicking on that link when the time comes should take you to the site for the live chat. Should be fun!

Benny: This is wild. I haven't been in my Inbox for a couple days because the IN part of it isn't working for some reason. I can send OUT, but nothing is coming back. It's no big deal I guess, because Computer Guy has seen it before, and knows exactly what steps are needed to fix it. But I haven't even pointed at it lately. I just now noticed that if I point my cursor to my Inbox icon, it shows me that there is a message up. So I looked to see what it is. It's a draft in response to some of your comments (and others) and it's been there a while. (Yes, life is wild!) I don't know how old it is. I'm posting it next cause it appears to be all ready to go.

Awesome, Nikki! I would love to, but I guess since I'm on the west coast, I'll be several hours behind. Sigh. Anyway, am still mad at CTV for not picking me to go the big party in L.A. tonight. So, will have to decline.

Mostly, I write about television, and with this being the home of the Great Buffy Rewatch of 2011, a lot of that television is Joss Whedon-related (when it's not about Lost). Stick around if you love Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Sherlock, Lost, BtVS, Doctor Who, or anything on HBO.

About Me

I've published companion guides to Xena, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Alias, and Lost through ECW Press, and my latest book is "Finding Lost — Season Six: The Unofficial Guide." Currently, I love Revenge, Community, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead... actually, pretty much everything on HBO or AMC.

Your Essential Companions for the Buffy Rewatch!

The Great Buffy Rewatch!

Welcome to the home of the Great Buffy Rewatch of 2011, where every Tuesday night we convened to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer from season 1 to the end. I was joined by over 25 guest commentators and Buffy scholars who helped me lead you through the watch, offering non-spoilery discussion for the new watchers as well as spoiler-filled discussions for the rewatchers. The entire Rewatch can be found in the archives here, listed by week and contributor. Go here for the full 2011 schedule, and here to see the list of amazing contributors. And be sure to pick up my book, Bite Me, a complete episode by episode guide to the series!
